Sankara who is bountiful in his compassion, who is embodiment of Gnana, who is a santha swarupi, who is our Guru, who dispels our sins and who is worshipped as our Guru Sri Chanrasekara And I worship the feet of this Guru who knows everything and who pervades everywhere. JAYA JAYA SANKARA HARA HARA SANKARA JAYA JAYA SANKARA HARA HARA SANKARA I think Adishankara compiled this sloka to describe His own avatar in Maha Periyava Swaroopa – who else would fit perfectly in these five slokas – word by word?! Kaupina Panchakam by Sri Adi Shankaracharya This is a very short poem with five stanzas written by Shankaracharya which glorifies the life of a Sannyasi. A Sadhu renounces every thing before entering in to Sannyas, and wears only a kaupina aka kaupeena (loin cloth). That too is for the sake of the world. Vedantha Vakhyeshu Sada ramantho, Bhikshannamathrena trishtimantha, Vishokamantha karane charantha, Kaupeenavantha Khalu bhaghyavantha -1Who is reveling in the thoughts of Vedantic declarations, Whom does a meager portion of begged-food satisfy, Who is walking around without a trace of sorrow The man with just the loincloth is indeed the lucky one. -1 Moolam tharo kevalam ashrayantha, Panidhvayam bhokthuma manthrayantha, Kandhamiva sreemapi kuthsayantha, Kaupeenavantha Khalu bhaghyavantha -2 Who rests (sleeps) at the roots of a tree, Taking only two hands-full of food Who is disregarding wealth as a torn piece of cloth The man with just the loincloth is indeed the lucky one. -2 Swananda bhava pari thushti mantha, Sushantha sarvendriya vruthi mantha, Aharnisam brahma sukhe ramantha, Kaupeenavantha Khalu bhaghyavantha – 3 Always contented in the joy of ones own self Who is peaceful by curbing desires his senses Who is immersed day and night in the bliss of Brahman The man with just the loincloth is indeed the lucky one. -3 Dehadhi bhavam parivarthayantha, Swathmana athmanyavalokayantha, Naantha na Madhyam na bahi smarantha, Kaupeenavantha Khalu bhaghyavantha – 4 Always witnessing the changes of his own body, Who is seeing himself as the Self, the changeless, And who never bothers to think about the end, middle and outside (of the world), The man with just the loincloth is indeed the lucky one. -4 Brahmaksharam pavanamucharantho, Brahmahamasmeethi vibhavayantha, Bhikshashano dikshu paribramayantha, Kaupeenavantha Khalu bhaghyavantha – 5 Always singing the sacred glory of Brahman, the eternal Always contemplating that ‘I am Brahman’, Who is wandering around just on alms obtained, The man with just the loincloth is indeed the lucky one. -5
